Fantastic tour led by Jonathan on 29/11. As a past student, he clearly has an enormous passion for the university and city and this shone through in the commentary he gave.
The pace was energetic and enabled us to see and learn about so much and fit a great number of locations in.

I had a great tour with Simon. He was an excellent guide and a wonderful storyteller. Oxford has so much symbolism and history, and Simon shared much of it with the group, as well as insights into great pubs and books.

During September 2025, our pilgrimage group from Colorado, USA, enjoyed several days in Oxford. We were fortunate to have Jonathan Self as our tour guide for a unique perspective on the friendship between JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis. Jonathan's wit, knowledge and passion brought welcomed color and detail to a story about which group members had varying depths of knowledge. He was patient with our many questions and, at least for one member of our group, led to him pursuing a deeper exploration of questions about faith and life. The tour was a highlight of our time in Oxford and something which I would happily do again.

My 17 year old son and I took the Private Tour and added the school admissions. I highly recommend this. It was very informative and enjoyable. We had the best tour guide.

Jonathan was an exceptional tour guide for our family in Oxford. He provided wonderfully animated insights into the history of a variety of sites in Oxford and customized his tour for the interests of our family (Harry Potter for the kids, CS Lewis and Tolkien for the grown ups). Highly recommended!
